The NSWRL has announced the CABE NSW Under 19s Men's squad for the upcoming State of Origin match on June 19 at Sunshine Coast Stadium in Queensland.
The 20-player roster features five players from the victorious team that defeated Queensland 14-10 at Leichhardt Oval in 2024: Connor Votano, Hayden Buchanan, Mitchell Woods, Jacob Halangahu, and Cody Hopwood.
Zane Harrison served as the 18th player in that match.
Additionally, the squad includes three talents from the UNE SG Ball Cup (Under 19s) Premiers, the Sydney Roosters: Toby Rodwell, Jaxson Allen, and Kanaan Magele, alongside Jezaiah Funa-luta from the Grand Finalist Parramatta Eels.
The team will be coached by True Blue Josh Jackson, also the coach of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in the Jersey Flegg Cup (Under 21s).
His coaching staff includes fellow True Blues Josh Reynolds, Trent Hodkinson, and Dale Finucane.
The squad will commence training on June 13 at the NSWRL Centre of Excellence in Sydney Olympic Park, before traveling to the Sunshine Coast on June 16.
